Hey everyone. I've been using Goozex since February 2008 and have overall been loving the site. I've got past 150 for my feedback, opening up the opportunity to have 10 requests able to match-up. Since getting it though, I haven't had anything match or even pend. It's not like I have a list of niche games either. My total games requested is above a 120. So my question out of curiosity is...

What's your longest streak or period in which you haven't matched up a request?
 
It took about a month before my first request, and then most of my list went within 3 weeks of each other. Now I have a bunch of points but I haven't bothered to buy the trade credits.
 
After signing up and sending out 4 games, I got 1 game within a month (Beyond the Beyond). Then it took almost 7 months for me to receive my next game (Lost Kingdoms). Then I sent out another game and took another 2 months for me to receive my next game (Clubhouse Games).

I'm cashed out besides 50 points but I don't care. I'm not sending anything else out and it seems like every week, stuff I want goes up in points or my stuff goes down.
 
I was going to sign up, but I'm not a huge fan of the waiting thing. I'm in such a rush these days it seems to get rid of things.
 
For a good while I've been getting 2-3 requests a week on average, lately it's getting slimmer. Mostly due to me going through most of the games I wanted to get rid of, the rest I'm currently waiting to unload but there isn't much.

I'm sitting on about 10,000 points but I'm in no hurry to use them because most of the games I want are WAAAAYYY too above their ideal point value. And a lot of the people there act all stuck up their collective asses if someone if brings up that issue. They act like Goozex is the be all that ends all and any reasonable complaint/suggestion is fallen on deaf ears and they are like "Well why are you here if you don't like it?"
 
Its basic economics - supply and demand.

New releases are going to be highly desired and sparse, older releases you won't have as much trouble with.

I've been waiting for Ninja Gaiden II for a while, and expect to continue but then I put Untold Legends PS3 on my wants and get a match in an hour.
That's just how it works =]
 
I usually plan my requests ahead of time. I'll go through the games I'm interested in and see which ones are immediately available. If I have a bunch of points accumulated sometimes I'll request a 1000 pointer and just wait a while for it to match up, but 99% of the time I get matched up within the hour. Now, actually getting accepted, that can take awhile. My 360 collection has grown past 130 so my choices are slowly dwindling and am now looking to expand my PSP collection which currently only has 5 games (and I've had it since launch) and I've noticed that I'll be experiencing some heavy wait time for a lot of titles there.

Then why is most of the Wii's shovelware at 3-700 points? I wouldn't use 200 points for most of that stuff. Chicken Shoot is 450 points, and nobody wants it.

I was just thinking about the wait time for games. As far as point values go, im not sure what they are doing.
